Write a three-page paper in which you address one of the following scenarios:

You are an elementary school principal who is committed to ensuring that students are taught in a developmentally appropriate environment. Not all of your kindergarten teachers understand how to use developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) to create such an environment. You are also tasked with introducing and enforcing the use of a new state-mandated, textbook-based reading curriculum to your kindergarten teachers. The curriculum is based on the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. As a principal, your job is to show teachers how they can successfully integrate the textbook and standards-based curriculum into their kindergarten classroom while maintaining a developmentally appropriate program. You decide to write a short article introducing the new curriculum that you will ask all the teachers to read prior to your first meeting.

 

In your paper you must include the following elements:

1. 1. Explain the purpose of the article/letter.

 

1. 1. Summarize, in your own words, developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) for teaching reading to kindergarten-age children (as defined by the NAEYC) with at least three specific examples of DAP in teaching reading for this age.

 

1. 1. Discuss the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts for teaching reading in kindergarten in your state from your perspective as an educator/parent committed to both DAP and high quality instruction. If your state uses the Common Core Standards, use these; if not use, whatever standards your state is currently using.

 

1. 1. Describe some of the possible effects of DAP and non-DAP practices on kindergarten-age children’s sense of self-efficacy in learning to read. Support your summary with at least two references, including your text.

 

1. 1. Explain at least three ideas for integrating the state-mandated textbook and standards-based curriculum with DAP. Use and cite at least one reference to support your ideas.

 

1. Summarize your points asking for the inclusion of DAP into the new kindergarten reading program. Remember, your goal whether you take on the role of the principal or the parent is to support the school in continuing to use DAP while adopting and implementing the new curriculum.

4 accounting questions due 4 hours. Questions are not related, and should be answered separately with the correlating question number on top. Answers should be to the point. References are required.

Q1

Within the application control area there is a key component in processing controls. This takes into account validation tests, sequence tests, arithmetic accuracy, data reasonableness, and completeness tests.

A validation test ensures that the master files match the database and the processing within the programs. Sequence tests determine that the data being processed is done so in the proper order. Arithmetic accuracy checks that the processing of data entered into the system is correct. Data reasonableness determines if the data is within specified ranges or violates established parameters. This data is more associated with data that would kick-out on an exception report. Lastly, completeness test, this simply determines that all field of a record are complete, we see this in sales invoicing and payroll records as some examples. Any thoughts?

Q2

The auditor tests controls for the particular time, or throughout the period, for which the auditor intends to rely on those controls.  Audit evidence pertaining only to a point in time may be sufficient for the auditor’s purpose, for instance, when testing controls over the entity’s physical inventory counting at the period end. If, on the other hand, the auditor intends to rely on a control over a period, tests of the control at relevant times during that period are appropriate. Such tests may include tests of the entity’s monitoring of controls. When evaluating the operating effectiveness of relevant controls, the auditor must evaluate whether misstatements that have been detected by substantive procedures indicate that controls are not operating effectively. The absence of misstatements detected by substantive procedures, however, does not mean that controls related to the assertion being tested are effective. A material misstatement detected by the auditor’s procedures is a strong indicator of the existence of a significant deficiency in internal control. Any thoughts?

Q3

We have been discussing several performance measure and advantages and disadvantages of each.

In order to satisfy the requirements, students must select a topic from the textbook, explain why they chose the topic, and describe the intent of the research. The Topic Selection and Proposal assignment further provides students with an opportunity to receive feedback from the instructor before completing additional work.
